OPPO R15 Pro Features & Specifications

The OPPO R15 has a glass-and-metal design with a subtle gradient finish on its glass back. At the front, the phone features a 6.28-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution (2280×1080 pixels, 401ppi, 84.1% screen-to-body ratio) and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection. There’s a good-old fingerprint reader at the rear. It runs Android 8.1 Oreo-based ColorOS 5.0 software. While not as bad as Vivo’s FunTouch OS, ColorOS needs a lot of work to be competent.

The phone features a 20MP selfie camera that’s embedded into a conventional-shaped notch towards the top of the screen. The selfie camera has f/2.0 aperture, 20mm wide-angle lens, and a Full HD 1080p video recording. At the rear, the phone features a 16MP+20MP dual-camera setup. The primary camera uses a 1/2.6-inch sensor (1.22μm pixels), 25mm lens with f/1.7 aperture, and phase-detection autofocus. It can also record 4K videos at 30fps.

The OPPO R15 Pro uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, 6GB RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. There’s a microSD card slot for storage expansion by up to an additional 256GB. However, it’s not a dedicated memory card slot as you’ll need to use the SIM 2 slot for storage expansion.

The phone is powered by a 3430mAh battery with VOOC Flash Charge (5V/4A) and a compatible charger comes inside the box. In terms of connectivity, the phone features A-GPS+GLONASS, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, a microUSB 2.0 port (with OTG) and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Is OPPO R15 Pro A Good Choice in 2019?

No. The OPPO R15 Pro is priced at INR 25,990 and at this price, you can get a lot of phones that have flagship-grade processing chipsets and better cameras with OIS. The ASUS Zenfone 5Z (Review) and the POCO F1 (Review) are good alternatives.
